In speaking Of the increased cost to the con
sumner of our home manufacture. resulting from
a duty laid upon imported articles Of the same
description. the fact is not overlooked that com

times has the effect of keeping the price OF their
| products below the highest limit allowed by
such duty. But IL is notorious that this compe

sider.afion in the operation of these selfish
schemes. II, however, in the absence OF such
combination, a healthy and free competition
reduces the price of any particular dutiable
article of home production below the limi,
which it might otherwise reach under our tariff
laws, and II, with such reduced price its manu-
facture continues to thrive it is entirely evi

should be carefully scrutinized in an effort tc
